Not a massive saving but seems to be the cheapest around at the moment (major retailers have raised their prices back to £49.99). :smile:

I disagree, I couldn't understand why I was holding a £100 controller. Made no difference to my gaming.

Its rather confusing, but there are actually three versions of the Xbox One controller:-
v1 - Original launch controller, has bumpers that only click in at the edge, and also has IR emitters at the top edge so that Kinect can track the players position.
v2 - The "3.5mm Jack" model. Has redesigned bumpers that can be clicked in anywhere, and also has a 3.5mm headset jack. Has no IR emitters.
v3 - The "S" model. Still has the redesigned bumpers and 3.5mm jack, but now also features bluetooth. The top of the controller has been redesigned and now has a slightly smaller Xbox guide button, with a matt finish surrounding it instead of the gloss used on earlier controllers. Also has a very slightly dimpled textured grip on the back plastic (This is not the same as the rubber grips used on the Elite and Special Edition controllers)
From my understanding it's the v2 version that gone on sale during Black Friday for £34.99 from major retailers.

Heat added but not sure if it's v2 or not. Description says so, but pictures show old controller.

It's v2, the title says new model and v1 has no 3.5mm jack.

Seriously, save up for an Elite controller instead. Far superior to any controller even PS controllers

Well, redesign v1 has new bumpers and 3.5mm jack. That's what I see in pics. Would prefer the one that came out with S console.
Anyway, whatever it is, still decent price.
Managed to get Elite last Sunday from SavviBuy for £34.99 due to price error. No refund yet, delivery set to 5-9.12 as Black Friday item. If/when arrive I may resell it. Still don't see a point to use controller worth nearly as much as console. New S controller will do. for nearly 1/3 of price.

There are plenty of special editions too, plus the elite and "i made this" versions which are awesome

Nice one - does the bluetooth work with SteamLink wirelessly without the need for the USB dongle thingy?

When they say "for Windows 10 PCs", have they deliberately programmed them to not work with windows 8 or are they just wording it in a **** off way to windows 8 customers.

What you on about they work on windows 7,8,10

The first two controllers would originally only work on windows 10 with the dongle wirelessly.
After a lot of consumer complaining Microsoft made drivers for windows 7/8, so the description is probably taken from the launch statement.

This pic may help:-
I think this deal is for the "v2" (Note that the naming scheme varies depending on the retailer),which does not have bluetooth. If you want the latest bluetooth model I would recommend buying from the Microsoft store, since it states it has bluetooth in the description:-
